mokmeisterhello!21:45
moylanhi22:04
mokmeisterhi moylan, how're things?22:06
moylangetting by, yourself?22:06
mokmeisteryeah, not so bad22:07
moylanlooking forward to 11.04?22:07
mokmeisterYeah, have the beta running away (and crashing) on one of the pcs, I kinda like (ish) unity22:08
mokmeisterI'm sticking with 10.04 on my main desktop for quite a while though, methinks! :D22:09
moylanhaven't tried it yet.  short on systems to test it on.  anxious about unity as i don't like change for the sake of change.  still on 10.04 on main system.22:09
mokmeisteryeah, 10.04 is too good! :D22:11
mokmeisterI like the side bar in unity, it's something I've been doing with gnome panels for a while, what with widescreens and all, it seems pointless taking up space on the bottom of your screen22:12
moylani'm used to having a popup panel at the bottom.  not a fan of the current fad of widescreens.22:13
moylanplanning on going to the release party?22:20
mokmeisterNope, down in Limerick22:20
mokmeisterwill head along to the ubuntu hour and see what's going on methinks!22:21
moylanisn't there a ubuntu group down in limerick?  thought there was.22:21
mokmeisterKinda agree with you on the wide screen thing, I do like a squarer panel meself22:21
mokmeisterwell, the ubuntu hour is planned for the 28th in the Absolut hotel22:22
moylanit's better for reading text.  a portrait screen would be best for displaying a full page.  but definitely taller than the widescreens.22:22
mokmeisterhi res, big screens, you could have pages all lined up in widescreen! ;)22:28
moylanthey used to make a screen that rotated 90' great for swapping between formats.22:32
mokmeisteryeah, I vaguely remember something like that.22:32
moylannow it's just bigger and bigger screens.  not sure that is progress.22:34
mokmeisterI thought bigger was better.... ;)22:36
moylanbut the bigger screens use more power.  i'd be quite happy with a good 15' rather than getting a 19' wide screen just to see the same amount of lines in vim.22:37
mokmeisterAh well, sure a 40 inch lcd probably wouldn't use as much power as a 20 inch CRT, so I wouldn't be overly worried about that.22:42
moylanah but a 15' lcd uses less power than a 17' lcd if chosen carefully.  i prefer to use as little leccy as possible.22:46
mokmeisterright, time for bed, g'nite23:00
